New Consumer Goods market report from Euromonitor International: "Smoking Tobacco in Colombia"

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/30/2014 --Smoking tobacco remained by far the smallest and most underdeveloped of the three main tobacco categories in Colombia in 2013. It was dominated by pipe tobacco, with demand for RYO tobacco products remaining negligible. Due to the relatively low cost of machine-manufactured cigarettes, there is no real tradition of RYO tobacco consumption in the country. Pipe tobacco meanwhile is a niche category that primarily appeals to a small base of older male consumers. While water pipe (hookah) smoking did gain popularity among some younger Colombians during the review period, any benefit that this trend had in terms of bolstering demand for pipe tobacco products was dampened by the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants.

Competitive Landscape

Swedish Match was the leading company in smoking tobacco in 2013 with a retail volume share of 19%, followed by BAT with a 16% share. Both companies import products (mainly pipe tobacco) from abroad and distribute them to retailers across Colombia.

Industry Prospects

Growth in retail volume sales of smoking tobacco over the forecast period is expected to be much slower than that recorded during the review period, as is value sales growth at constant 2013 prices. This is mainly because the category relies on a niche base of older male smokers who are not being replaced by new ones. Pipe tobacco will remain the dominant product type, with consumption of RYO tobacco expected to remain negligible due to the relatively low cost of machine-manufactured cigarettes in Colombia.
